Duration of hay fever in children
The duration of hay fever cannot be specified exactly. Its development is considered individual, which explains its occurrence at any age. The onset can be gradual or sudden as well as its improvement until it disappears completely.
Its severity can also vary and does not give any reliable information about its course. In most cases, however, hay fever persists for many years or for life. It is not necessary for hay fever to be permanent, but often depends on the seasons with the associated pollen count. This explains why sufferers are usually symptom-free in winter.
